Sometimes good things are worth the wait and this podcast is no exception! We're BACK with two of Hollywood's most infamous filmmakers and a theater that screened them more than anything else...

Join us as we discuss the Russ Meyer VIXEN trilogy and the nearly decade long journey that lead to Severin and the Russ Meyer Trust becoming bosom buddies... IN BOSOMANIA! We break down the full-frontal BREASTorations and our STACKED lineup of extras on each release of VIXEN, SUPERVIXENS, and BENEATH THE VALLEY OF THE ULTRA-VIXENS. Then we talk about the later-era hardcore films of the man who puts WOOD in Hollywood... ED WOOD JR and his HARD WOOD.

We talk about all three titles in the HARD WOOD set as well as a very special BONUS film included that might be worth the price of the release by itself.

Lastly, we talk with special guest Kier-La Janisse to discuss the documentary about the cinema that featured those two filmmakers most... SCALA!!! This release comes with the documentary as well as two extra discs that will put you right in the middle of the rowdy Scala crowd. Directors Ali Catterall and Jane Giles join us for an interview about the doc and this once-in-a-lifetime release!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! DJ Alfonso is here with a MASSIVE edition of Rendezvous After Hours that you won't want to miss.

2 Recommendations

Gather ‘round the fire in the woods for this nearly 5-hour journey into the heart of ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS VOL. 2 with box set producer / curator Kier-La Janisse taking Andrew, Amy and David through every graphic detail of this impossibly massive undertaking. Understand why Andrew declares this session “a catharsis," while David calls the set, "a masterclass in curation and execution unlike any other in physical media and which should hopefully help to retire the woefully dated phrase 'Criterion-level’," as Amy cries, “this box set is the apotheosis of everything everyone has been working towards." Also discover which film Kier-La says is one of the scariest she's ever seen.

Then let DJ Alfonso lead you further down the dark path with a special feature length Rendezvous After Hours.
